Finally, in 2009, I Dreamed There Was No War won Best Pop Instrumental Performance.
- The Eagles have had five #1 hit singles: The Best of My Love, One of These Nights, Hotel California, New Kid in Town, and Heartache Tonight.
- They had four consecutive #1 albums: One of These Nights, Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975, Hotel California, and The Long Run.
- The concept album Desperado was inspired by a book about old West outlaws – including photos of their corpses – that Glenn had received as a birthday present
pre-Eagles fame. - The Eagles’ Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 is the best-selling record of all time.
- After shows in the seventies, the Eagles were infamous for their “Third Encore” which included bathtubs of booze, copius amounts of illegal substances, and quite a few eager groupies. Destruction of hotel suites was not uncommon.
- The “resumption” tour in 1994 was named Hell Freezes Over as a joking reference to what Don Henley used to tell people when they asked him if the Eagles
would ever get back together. - The Eagles were inducted into the Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame in 1998, where for the only time to date, all seven present-and-former members performed together.
